Anyone know of any site or document for best practices for handling alerts in SCOM.

What do you think of using SCOM for a NOC, at the moment I have some clients but the management of alerts is complicated.

Cookdown has an excellent tool you can use to handle your overrides and tune your SCOM that is incredibly easy and intuitive. It's called Easy tune.

Regarding NOC, Squared Up has amazing dashboards that you can build quickly and share with your teams or to hang on your big screens!

Anyone know how to remove authentication in the SCOM WEB console? I have created an HTML dashboard that I created through the SCOM API Rest and every time I lock the pc screen it asks me again for authentication

Thanks for the reply @StoyanChalakov_twitter@MhaisekarS_twitter . Has anyone used Azure Automation Account to integrate it with SCOM instead of Orchestrator?

@isadanar_twitter I don't think you will get an objective answer in a SCOM group about management alerts using SCOM ;) . Although, I believe it is possible. To achieve it, you will need to develop a tool that will be easy and transparent for the user to manage the alerts. If you don't want to spend time on development then I suggest using Savision Live Maps v10.4 and if you need a single glass of pane to manage all alerts from different monitoring tools and ITSM tools then I suggest using Savision iQ. https://www.savision.com/try-free/

@isadanar_twitter Welcome :-)

From my site I have the same suggestion. Check out Savision and SquaredUp both have a similar focus ( fantastic and easy to create Dashboards ) mainly for SCOM, but both have their strengths.

@isadanar_twitter I thought about my own dashboards before trying both solutions, but after evaluating both I dropped that idea immediately.The time that you can safe with taking such products compared to self made is immense.

I would like to create SCOM DR setup at Azure and Primary site at on-premises, is it a possible scenario ?

Stoyan Chalakov

@StoyanChalakov_twitter

@Aman_Bannsal_twitter Can you please share more details.-.You want to have management servers on pre, but also in Azure?

Or you mean having different management groups, one prem and one in Azure

Please read this, it will het you sarted and you will learn also what the options for DR are

Hey Aman, agree with Stoyan. Assuming you plan to have additional management servers in Azure and rest on prem, this is surely possible. Keep in mind though, the network latency among the management server has to be very low

Need advise..

1.Locate the file containing the servers to set in maintenance mode --> User can manually browse to locate the file2.Comment/Reason for maintenance --> User will paste the ticket number (ex: chg123456)3.Maintenance Time --> User will indicate how long should be in minutes (1hr = 60mins.)Show in GUIHours to Minutes

Thanks @Ruben8Z_twitter - great suggestion, I was able to accomplish until validation, But I'm still struggling how to include synthetic transcation (TCP port) to set in maintenance mode as well. we're using scom2012
